Self-replying here I did install the game under crossover 21 + Monterey on a Macbook Air M1 8gb 8GPU cores, didn't test much but will do during the next week.

As a matter of fact I've got to follow the instructions but I did download the whole game from Torrent once it was installed and then copied everything into the Crossover folder.

The login screen is flickering for some reason trying to finalize the install process but you manage to click the login button and everything works fine.
Help pliz install the game. Can you consistently write how to install a torrent game using a crossover?

The initial guide on the first page is pretty much the same and its wonderfully detailed...anyways as follows:

Install Crossover
Install a new bottle with windows 7 64 bits
Install the launcher downloaded from https://launcher.returnofreckoning.com/RoRInstaller.exe
leave the installer install everything it needs (shouldn't have any problems)
Leave the installer download everything.
Back to Crossover
Right click on your new bottle -> Open unit C:
Overwrite on the "Return of Reckoning" folder inside program x86 folder the files you downloaded from torrent.
Back to crossover, launch "RoR" and enjoy :)

Thats it.

So after a bit of time by trial and error I managed to play fairly well scs and even a bit of big orvr, this with a Macbook Air M1 8GB

Using Crossover 21.1 and adding under Regedit the following keys:

|HKEY CURRENT USER
+-Software
+-Wine
+-Direct3D

Then add:

+->VideoMemorySize (REG SZ)
| | [Set the amount of reported video memory (in megabytes).
I did allocate 4GB of VRAM in this, I guess its enough as the game itself ain't a Vram eater.

+->CheckFloatConstants (DWORD VALUE 1)
Enabling this has a small performance some times, I experienced a bit so I kept it.

+->MultisampleTextures (DWORD VALUE 0)
I found some performance improvement disabling this.

+->SampleCount (DWORD VALUE 1)
Override swapchain sample count. It can be used to force enable multisampling with applications that otherwise don't support it, seems to work.

On the client side I have pretty much everything disabled (shader performance ops, grass, water reflects, water splashes, any lightning effect, shadows, animation on fastest framerate , effects same, and play ability on self, GPU memory cache to Largest, fullscreen 2560 x 1600.

Hope this helps someone! :)

pd. edit* BTW I always CMD+TAB and close the launcher once the game is running...Just in case :)

My my the magic of technology - played since launch and RORed for a bit before - now I can play own my M1 MacBook Pro!

Doubt I'll be button mashing like the old days but nice to have a wander round again :)

Hi all, a friend of mine is trying to install warhammer on his Mac. Following the guide on the official site, we downloaded the Ror installer and the Crossover program; however, when we start the installation everything proceeds correctly until we are asked to install DirectX 9.0x. Depending on whether we choose yes or no, we encounter a first error where the program either found an error or did not detect Wine, and a second error that says that the connection has dropped when it clearly isn't. Anyone knows how to fix the problem? Thanks

are there ways to increase fps if i use crossover? setting graphics at a minimum
if I am alone, then it works fine (not good, it’s just fine). with 20 players FPS drops to 15, with 50+ players FPS drops to 5
I play on macbook pro m1 max, 32 gb ram

Install "Directx End user runtime web installer" directly from Crossover in the same bottle and you should avoid that problem.

You could try my previous post, even add more VRAM as you have 32gb so 8gb VRAM would be nice even if this game do not stress much VRAM.

Much has been improved since I last posted on this thread, absolutely mind-blowing. Game runs like a breeze on M1 Monterrey 12.3 Mini w/ Crossover 21.2. The only issue I got is audio crisps more often than not, anyone else experiencing this?

PS: Even on forts game runs pretty well with less than 2GB being used, totally worth every penny (on Crossover I mean).
